  10. The Chapter Post-Tests The post-tests are located inside Course Content

  11. The Chapter Post-Tests • The post-test questions are taken directly from the assigned homework questions • The assigned homework is on the DSCI 2710 website using the [2710-Homework] link and is in your syllabus • The number of post-test questions varies for each chapter

  12. The Chapter Post-Tests • The post-tests are timed, so make sure you complete the assigned homework first • There is a total of 100 questions • Your score will be the number of correctly answered questions that were on time • Example: If you answered 85 of the 100 questions correctly (and on time), you receive 85 points

  13. The Chapter Post-Tests • This assumes all post-tests were completed on time • There is a 50% penalty for post-tests taken after the due date • For a late post-test, the number of correct answers for that post-test is divided by 2
